Feeling the warm touch on the back of her hand, Yerin slowly lifted her head. Then, she met eyes with Lee Hyun, who was staring at her intently.
“Why hesitate instead of coming in?”
“I was about to come in.”
Taking a deep breath, Yerin forcefully opened the door. As soon as she entered, she brightly smiled at the sight of Chansook’s face.
“Mom!”
“Our daughter!”
Yerin rushed over, embraced Chansook, who was sitting on the hospital bed, and hugged her tightly. Chansook, also pleased to see Yerin after a long time, comforted her while hugging.
“Why has it been so long? I missed you.”
Chansook smiled brightly at Yerin. Without mentioning that she hadn’t been able to come until now because Pyeonghoon didn’t reveal where she was, Yerin made excuses about being busy.
“There’s been a lot of work.”
“So that’s why, and you’ve lost weight.”
Chansook patted Yerin’s cheek and, belatedly, noticed the unknown man who had entered with her.
With an imposing appearance, Chansook raised her eyebrows upon seeing him.
“Yerin, who is this gentleman…”
Before Yerin and Lee Hyun could respond, Pyeonghoon, who had been sitting next to them, intervened.
“Hehe, he’s Yerin’s boyfriend.”
“Huh? Boyfriend?”
Both Yerin and Lee Hyun had somewhat embarrassed expressions.
Pyeonghoon, oblivious to the atmosphere, chuckled.
“This man is here for the room…”
“The Chief.”
Lee Hyun straightforwardly addressed Pyeonghoon. He paused, glancing at Lee Hyun.
“Shall we go out and have a private talk?”
Thinking they were going to discuss business, Pyeonghoon agreed and followed Lee Hyun.
With only Yerin and Chansook remaining in the room, it felt like a death sentence. She would have to handle the bomb Pyeonghoon threw on her own.
No, it was fortunate in a way. If Pyeonghoon were here, he would have made more nonsense.
Sitting on a makeshift chair, Yerin held Chansook’s hand.
“Yerin, your boyfriend is really handsome.”
“Really?”
“Yeah. And it seems like you love him a lot.”
Love. At the absurd word, Yerin shook her head in disbelief.
“Oh, no.”
“Not really.”
Chansook, now sitting up, leaned against the bed.
“That man, has been looking at our daughter all the time, right?”
“If you know him, it’s because there’s no one else I know.”
She had to change the subject from talking about Lee Hyun.
She inquired about Chansook’s health, a topic she had been curious about for a long time.
“How is mom’s health?”
“It’s getting better. No, why did you suddenly move to such a nice place?”
“I found out about a company welfare program I didn’t know about.”
“Welfare?”
Yerin repeated the excuse she discussed with Lee Hyun in the car.
Fortunately, Chansook believed her.
“It’s so nice to see our daughter after a long time.”
“I feel the same way, Mom.”
Just being together like this made her feel so comfortable.
“I’ll come more often in the future.”
“You’re busy.”
“Still, I’m coming to see Mom.”
The two women looked at each other and shared the stories that had been piling up for a while. Just looking at each other’s faces was comforting enough, to the point of tears.

In the VIP ward’s lounge, Lee Hyun sat with crossed legs, casting a cool gaze down at Pyeonghoon. Trying to break the awkward atmosphere, Pyeonghoon spoke first.
“Hehe. I’m very thankful for moving the room. It seems more spacious than our home, so I could roll around here. Hehehe.”
“Chief.”
“Yes, please speak.”
“I hope you keep it a secret that I moved her.”
“What?”
“If she finds out, won’t she feel burdened?”
“Hearing that, it seems so. Hehehe.”
“Let’s conclude that I moved her as part of the welfare from the company Yerin works for.”
Pyeonghoon nodded.
Who moved the room and who paid for it was not important.
“By the way, what should I call you?”
In other words, why does a person who does this kind of work spend money so freely?
Lee Hyun took a business card from his wallet and casually placed it on the table.
Pyeonghoon, as if mesmerized, picked up the business card and read his title.
“Jiseok Electronics, Director Chaehyun?”
“Yes.”
“Oh my, indeed, it seemed like you were a high-ranking person.”
Pyeonghoon straightened his waist even more when he realized that he seemed to have seen the name and face somewhere.
“Uh?”
Pyeonghoon belatedly pieced together the puzzle and stood up from his seat.
“Could it be Director Chaehyun of Jiseok Electronics, one of the heirs?”
Pyeonghoon’s eyes widened as if they might pop out at any moment.
Unlike Pyeonghoon, who was making a fuss, Lee Hyun’s expression didn’t change at all.
Like someone immune from meeting such people.
“Yes, that’s correct.”
Pyeonghoon covered his mouth with both hands.
He thought the man must be remarkable, but to be one of the heirs of Jiseok Group.
“Oh my. I didn’t know.”
He belatedly realized how he had casually spoken to such a remarkable person.
On the other hand, thinking about what he did wrong.
Lee Hyun whispered coldly.
“Why didn’t you tell Mrs. Park about the hospital Yerin went to during this time?”
Pyeonghoon gulped.
“Well, that’s…”
Male lead is a Love-Obsessed Merman
When he discovers she has gone, he risks everything to pursue her on land, enduring agonizing pain to transform his tail into human legs…
One-line summary: Male lead chases female lead. The male lead’s love is a bit sick, an invincible love brain.
Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.
Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”
Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
